Poe was pale and trembling. His condition was serious enough that two doctors thought he was in "imminent danger" and that another "attack" would kill him.
On the day following he made his appearance among us, but so pale, so tremendous and apparently subdued as to convince me that he had been seriously ill. On this occasion he had been at his rooms at the 'Old Swan' where he was carefully tended by Mrs. Mackenzie's family, but on a second and more serious relapse he was taken by Dr. Mackenzie and Dr. Gibbon Carter to Duncan's Lounge, where during some days his life was in imminent danger. Assiduous attention saved him, but it was the opinion of the physicians that another such attack would prove fatal. This they told him, warning him seriously of the danger. His reply was that if people such attack would prove fatal. This they told him, warning him seriously of the danger. His reply was that if people would not tempt him, he would not fall. --Susan Archer Talley (a friend of Poe's sister), "The Last Days of Edgar Allan Poe", Scribner's Monthly, XV, March 1878
